Xanthogranulomatous Cholecystitis (XGC) is a rare inflammatory condition characterized by the presence of xanthogranulomas within the gallbladder wall, often mimicking gallbladder carcinoma (GBC). Diagnosis is challenging and may require biopsy. Once GBC is excluded, an open cholecystectomy is recommended, although laparoscopic cholecystectomy is increasingly being performed with great caution. This case report aims to evaluate clinical and radiological features, surgical outcomes, and treatment approaches for XGC.
